Calphalon temp iq espresso machine | review

well the Calphalon temp iq with grinder had some high high hopes. on the surface everything looked great specs wise 58mm portafilter, pid temp control, built in stainless steel burr grinder, traditional steam wand. but man oh man this was ruff. so many little things added up to make this one of if not the worst espresso machine I have ever used. if you do own this I highly recommend only using the pressurized portafilter and getting wide espresso cups or maybe using two shot glasses to pull your espresso with.

Calphalon temp iq with grinder score 3/10
